Guess i'll talk about something else...

Well, I was contemplating posting on Deathtard vs Huntard vs Retardin. I was also thinking about posting on the “Hunter Dance”. But considering the flood of 3.1 posts, I think I hear music, and… yeup! There’s the wagon! So let me first share the changes for us:

HUNTER

• Consumable ammunition has been removed from the game. Arrows and bullets no longer stack, but are not consumed. Ranged attack speed bonus gained from quivers and ammo bags will be preserved in a different capacity.
• A new tier of hunter pet talents have been added. In particular, this allows Beastmaster hunters to improve their damage per second (DPS) with their 51 point talent.
• Hunting Party – this talent has been reduced to 3 ranks and also grants a passive bonus to the hunter.
• Piercing Shots – this talent has been changed. Your Aimed, Steady and Chimera Shots cause the target to bleed for 10/20/30% of damage dealt for 8 sec.
• Sniper Training – this talent has been changed. After standing still for 6 sec, you gain a 2/4/6% damage bonus to Steady, Aimed and Explosive Shot.
• We are also looking to add additional trap functionality to Survival.

Aka, it will change before it even comes close to the real servers. So why sweat it? I mean, it’s called ammunition. For the last couple millennia, it has been consumable. I mean, sure I’d love to have Legolas’ magic arrows that never disappear or run out… But my bow/gun is not a wand. Sniper training makes sense, but I’m still waiting for hunters to be able to stealth around and stalk their prey!!! No, not like a rogue that sneaks behind you and stabs you in the back, stays hidden and does it repeatedly until you’re a bloody heap when the undead then begins to eat your corpse. I mean, a serious talent would be: the hunter can stealth until they fire their first (or maybe even second) shot when they are then discoverable. Seriously, what hunter runs through the forest crashing about making noise so all the animals see and hear them? The huntard one! Maybe it should be a “Hunter” skill that you have to first prove you’re not a huntard to learn it…….
